For or Against

Most of the time when you talk about issues it is usually all or nothing. Two opposite sides. Being undecided, in the middle, still thinking about it, etc is vehemntly discouraged and frowned upon. This is more apparent to me now than I ever realized. Thinking back to being in high school, middle school, elementary school you were always encouraged to have an opinion. Everyone was taught to quickly form opinions on either side. Insistance on forming opinions were usually qualified with "what do you think" this or that. Not all the time but a lot of the time. It wasn't really thinking that they were encouraging, it was choosing a side that they were encouraging. It was a lot of the times, what do you think then they would give you suggestions as to what to think. Ah fuck I'm bored of this post already.
